Archived trip from old website run by mikak
This four day autumnal walk in Kosciuszko National Park is centred on the Brassy Mountains in the southern part of the Jagungal Wildnerness and north of the Snowy River. Among the many delights of this area are the numerous open grassy valleys and ridges which make for easy walking. Surprisingly, given it is blessed with excellent views and walking conditions, the area tends to have few visitors, so the chances are that we'll have the mountains mostly to ourselves. The route will be generally above 1500m in elevation, flexible and mostly off-track with plenty of opportunity for navigation practice. It is likely to include peaking bagging in The Kerries (eg Mt Gungartan) and the Brassy Mountains (Big Brassy), together with visits to iconic mountain huts like Whites River, Schlink, Tin, Mawsons and Kidmans. There’ll also be crystal clear mountain streams, cascades and falls, hidden alpine tarns, amazing granite boulders and magnificent stands of ancient snow gums. An added bonus will be hunting for alpine Easter eggs. The pace and route will deliberately be gentle. This trip is suited to people with limited overnight bushwalking experience. Distance: 40-60km. Map: Jagungal & Geehi Dam 1:25,000.
